Winson WongSeptember 25, 2016Get their miso butter and chimichurri chicken with brioche that requires 24 hours notice. It's like crack. Get 6 people to eat this. The rest of the food is decent, really good drinks and service.
Bikash MishraOctober 31, 2016Excellent food all round: chicken and waffles, five spice duck and laminated brioche were standouts. Also try the savory cocktails - the "stray cat rock" cocktail was unique, distinct and tasty!
Aaron PangJune 19, 2018The donobe rice is a must every single time. The tuna fat and ikura is the perfect balance of fat and salt. Atmosphere is comfortable and sake is on point. Sake and karaage were also highlights.
Zoe♪October 23, 2016Truly unique and complex cocktails. Bar manager Nathan is amazing and will make you personalized drinks on the spot. The food has room for improvement but I really liked the marinated salmon belly.
Jean YangSeptember 8, 2016Inventive menu. Laminated brioche with jidori egg aioli was delicious. Stuffed chicken wings were good, especially the ones with gyoza filling. Dungeness crab donabe and tuna & cheeks were okay.
Tim BradshawOctober 2, 2016Papa Nambu and Maiko Matcha Milk cocktails were both great. The food is ace too. We had beef tartare, salmon belly, brioche and duck. All excellent.
Timothy HongApril 11, 2018Delicious, interesting, and creative dishes--wonderful and exciting without being gimmicky. VERY expensive. Go for the Brussels sprouts, poke, chicken wings, miso black cod, and coconut parfait.
Jacy LiApril 28, 2017Overpriced given the portion of the food. The duck leg was great. Miso cod tasty. We tried all the dessert seems like everybody favors coconut parfait.
naveenFebruary 1, 2017a really nice private back room for your crew. the oyster. the tuna. the chicken (under that bread). check this tasting menu.
Martin AnguloDecember 1, 2016The brioche chicken with miso butter is amazing! You'll have to make a reservation and request the dish ahead of time. It is worth the wait!
CarissaMay 28, 2017eat the salmon belly without any garnish, request grilled cauliflower with less sauce, and absolutely order the miso black cod. everything was excellent!- Salmon and trout belly dishes are amazing. Seaweed salad is unlike any I've had before. And their matcha milk is a pretty crazy drink.
Sean HowellNovember 18, 2017We ate too quickly. No pic. The short ribs is insanely delicious. Best thing I’ve tried on the menu. Worth coming back for.
Adi HornJune 30, 2017Chicken and cod were the highlights. Cod was so so delicious chicken was fun and novelty and good but probably wouldn't get again. The sashimis were also delicious
Frederic JaeckelJanuary 18, 2018the chicken in brioche is to die for. takes five-six people to kill one...
You can't go wrong with anything here, but the chicken karaage and the duck leg are 🔥🔥
Agatha YuNovember 6, 2016Nice date spot, food is nice (nothing mind blowing). Note that their crab rice pot takes 45 min.
Cory DolphinJune 17, 2017Very expensive, but in my opinion the food was just OK. I expected to be wowed for the price tag. The presentation was great, but the dishes we had were busy and lacked flavor.
Nicolas SoldiNovember 13, 2016The brioche was overrated and the cocktails were ok, but the salmon belly and the overall level of service were phenomenal!
